Tonight I tutored Yunseo in the public library downtown. We read five or six books in the hour I was with her. I think the books we are reading(already on the table when I arrived) are beneath Yunseo's reading level. She shows little interest in reading books with simple plots. I think for our next tutoring session I will try to find some more challenging material. The books we read were mostly read along books and she can usually guess what's going to happen next.
Yunseo seems to be really interested in counting things. We read a kind of interactive reader(Blue's Clues) and she really seemed to enjoy finding objects and counting things in pictures. I think tutoring children is more difficult because the learning depends strongly on the child's disposition at any given moment. This week Yunseo was really fidgety and antsy, it was very difficult to get her to read a page or pay attention to the book I was reading to her.
